Hi,

I want to get a sign of angstrom in an math formula, here is my example: %-------------------- \starttext $\AA$ \stoptext

$\Angstrom$

Also see the units modules for proper typesetting of units.

Aditya

Thanks.

Since I use ConTeXt to typeset math formulas frequently, I want to know more about this. Why \AA doesn't work?

\AA is defined in plain TeX, and I think all plain TeX macros should work in ConTeX. Am I right ?

Regrads,

Hi, you should also use the \text macro to write normal text in math mode. \starttext $$\text{\AA}^{\text{\AA}}$$ $$\Angstrom^{\Angstrom}$$ $$\text{\Angstrom}^{\text{\Angstrom}}$$ \stoptext Wolfgang
